How can you blame me
For the way I never felt before
And all the mistakes that I made?It's just that I was so in love
I couldn't keep you close enough
I held too tight to the reinsIt can't keep a moment from passin' by
Love's not a thing that you ownOh I, I guess it wasn't mine
I didn't mean to lose the love
It took so long to find
I guess it wasn't mineI wore your heart upon my sleeve
A prize for all the world to see
A child's dream of soul possessionThought of ever letting to
Was more than I could bear, you know
I just thought of my own protectionLove is a gift that you give away
It's not a thing that you ownOh, I, I guess it wasn't mine
I didn't mean to lose the love
Took so long to find
I guess it wasn't mineI could drive myself crazy
Tear myself down
But things will be different
Next timeLove is a gift that you give away
It's not a thing that you ownI, I guess it wasn't mine
I didn't mean to lose the love
It took so long to find
I guess it wasn't mineI guess it wasn't mine
I know I love to say it wasn't mine
It took so long to find
I had to walk away, had to walk away, yeah
Oh, not again, it's wrong
I guess it wasn't mine after all
